Govt ruining power sector in AP: Muddukrishnam Naidu

The Government is virtually ruining the power sector in the  State, alleged senior Telugu Desam leader Gali Muddukrishnam Naidu here on Tuesday.Encouraging private entrepreneurs in the country, the government is sidelining Genco, Muddukrishnam Naidu said.

The Government has been promising that it would not raise power charges, but it kept on increasing the surcharges which is affecting the industrial sector and the common man.

The senior Tdp leader welcomed Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's comments in the context of Telangana. ``The PM's statements indicate that no separate Telangana will be  carved out. This is a good sign,’’ he added.

Hitting out at Chief Minister K  Rosaiah, Muddukrishnam Naidu observed, ``Rosaiah became the Chief Minister through backdoor methods. He was not an elected  legislator. He does not know the  problems of the people. So he should step down as CM.''

``In the interest of Andhra Pradesh, an elected legislator  should be made the chief minister,’' he noted. Be it Jagan, Jana Reddy or Jaipal Reddy. Only an elected leader will know the problems of the people and he can do justice to the job, Naidu suggested.
